This is how you can implement the extensions functionality. But that is not the goal. The goal is to provide an interface for the existing implementation of the extension to be plugged into. That is, the grammar should NOT know about <ref>, not what it does, not even that it exists. It should simply have a facility that allows externam (php) code to handle the characters (unchanged!) between (some specific) tags. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ Wikitext-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitext-l
